  • PREMIERE: Helium Robots - Pure Lost [Unsure]
    There were a number of memories of which he felt to be missing, one day he hoped that they might return. There were faces and shadows which he could not recall, places he was sure he had been but could not place and moments in time he was not sure had been his.
    He wanted to believe and know them all, as if he'd known them to be true and real all along. He wanted to feel the way in which they'd felt - that rush of whimsical nostalgic energy which left him longing to go back.
    It seemed as though it was at the very edge of his fingertips - just out of reach. Out there in the great beyond.
    Perhaps he was pure lost...
    Helium Robots return with new music - a welcome treat. Following previous outings on the likes of Dissident and Running Back they now steady their sights on a new record on Unsure.

  • PREMIERE: Alan Strani - Apocalypso (I:Cube Remix)Bordello A Parigi
    Alan Strani, in a tux so fancy, Danced the Apocalypso, feeling so chancy…
    With I:Cube Remix, the rhythm did enhance, see,
    In Bordello A Parigi, where dreams run free.
    He twirled and he swirled, his moves so bizarre, Apocalypso madness, like a shooting star, I:Cube’s beats, like a wild electric guitar, In Bordello A Parigi, where no rules are.
    The night went on, a surreal cabaret, Alan Strani’s dance, a wild display, Apocalypso and I:Cube’s sway, In Bordello A Parigi, where we all stray.
    Alan Strani returns to Bordello with a remix package of his album title track ‘Apocalypso’ featuring I:Cube – which we’re premiering here + Lauer, In Flagranti and himself on remix duties.

  • dj peanut: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix
    Next up is a DJ with truly unique and innovative music taste – this mix is a testament to that fact demonstrating a broad array of interests and perspectives.
    This one is not a traditional presentation of ‘club music’ (whatever that means) by any stretch. What it is is a journey through deep, pensive, haunting, stranger sounds. It’s kaleidoscopic in its approach, tapping in to a mood as much as anything else.
    The tracklist which was sent and accompanies the selection is incredibly far reaching and demonstrates a vast wealth of knowledge as dj peanut soundtracks nearly two hours of music.
    Originally from Glasgow but presently based in London dj peanut has cut her teeth in both cities, establishing connections through parties and friends.
    This is exactly what the ‘shine a light on’ series has always been a representation of – showcasing those unique dj’s who really don’t give a f*ck and continue to focus on pushing things forward and doing their own thing.

    A nonsensical jam for you and me.
    We’re premiering the percussive acid of “Three Acid,”. The EP also features a remix from Dexter Gregg under his Solid State guise.

  • PREMIERE: Rampue - Inside [A Tribe Called Kotori]
    https://www.theransomnote.com/music/premiere-rampue-inside-a-tribe-called-kotori/
    In the realm of Rampue, where unicorns prance,
    Lies a tribe so wild, it's like a mad dance,
    "Inside [A Tribe Called Kotori]" they chant,
    In a bubblebath trance, they love to enhance.
    With feathered hats and shoes that squeak,
    They slide on rainbows, oh so unique,
    In a bubbly river, they giggle and speak,
    Their nonsense language, oh so chic.
    Rampue's skies are made of lemonade,
    Marshmallow clouds provide the shade,
    In a bubblebath trance, they wade,
    Laughing at pineapples in a serenade.
    Squirrels play trumpets, birds play the drums,
    As they dance with pineapples, their silliness hums,
    The moon joins in, doing twirls and sums,
    All lost in the trance, where absurdity strums.
    So if you're looking for a whimsical chance,
    To escape reality and join in the dance,
    Find Rampue's tribe in their bubblebath trance,
    With Kotori's spirit, let your nonsense advance!
    Rampue's Bubblebath Trance is the A Tribe Called Kotori label's first foray into long players.  Venturing into extended musical narratives they invite Berlin-based producer Rampue who examines electronica, abstraction, and "Balearic-infused progressive-house" no less. Rich textures and intricacies form a "lushly textured promenade in sound."
    We're premiering Inside.

  • Nice Girl: The Ransom Note Mix
    Earlier this month Public Possession teased the upcoming release of a second album from Nice Girl - a producer with whom they have worked closely in recent years and supported through the release of records.
    Taking the jump and releasing albums as an artist is no small feat - it's a leap of faith and one which demonstrates ambition and drive towards a musical future.
    Public Possession is the perfect home for the record, playful music deserves a playful home.
    Ahead of the release we asked Nice Girl to deliver a mix which reflects her present headspace and drive as an artist. The result is a wild ride which demonstrates her prowess as a DJ as much as it does anything else. We reckon that you'll enjoy this one, we certainly did.

  • PREMIERE: Halwa - Drehwurm [Compost Records]
    There was a deep rumble - the sound of machines. It was what inspired him - the loud noises and the reverberating echo of progress as the noise grew and grew in a great harmonious cacophony.
    Some said that one day machines would rule us all, little did they know about the wild ambition of mad scientists and anarchists who would use them to unleash unruly madness.
    However, the machines could be just as peaceful if they were allowed to be. Just because something roars does not mean that it has to bite.
    Forthcoming on Compost Records, a compilation which spotlights and showcases the best of a newish generation of krautrock featuring producers and musicians such as I:Cube, Fred und Luna, Abrão and many more. This track from Halwa takes our pick of the bunch.
